“The Government physically occupied private property for the purpose of obtaining information,” Scalia wrote. “We have no doubt that such a physical intrusion would have been considered a ‘search’ within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment when it was adopted.”

I have been a bee-keeper for six thousand years
And for the past hundred years an electrician.
Once I retire I shall keep bees again.
Something should hum for me, oh hum for me,
Hum and hum and hum
Just for me.

a boot smouldering on a city street. a single boot burning on the sidewalk

 

 

That solitaire should have entropy for an opponent makes it more meaningful than chesswhere, instead of striking at life’s only enemy, you merely convert a useless order into one that can service your aims

 

Art that seems less tortured than irritated

 

 the sadness of limitless jurisdiction

the awful barrenness of expression. the round and leaking mouth of no pronouncement

galloping bouts of speechlessness

Why are we taught to despise old yellow pumpkin, the big bellied pumpkin, the mud covered pumpkin who makes the good pies?

To admit —even in a delible way —that we are each other’s sucker feels dangerous and metamorphic


body became rounded off by the hammock where she hung, like a curing meat

A natural waterfall crashing down into a sort of reservoir built on two levelshe found the sight less cooling than grotesquely suggestive of some agonized ultimate sweat.

sit smally in your own apartment, anxious of motion. that you will unweave your life and cancel domesticity

and then the towering drill of the unread

naturally freedom has a ploughshare, a blade where change strikes

why does every relationship have to be a nipple on the reservoir of all human experience? [it does]

but no one has thus far succeeded in singing an epic of peace

In reality, it is a harmless aquatic salamander.

SQUELCH CHAMBER

            how terrible finishing under the volcano felt
    my… feelings for the book are still much too plastic and fragile to read anything else about it. even a few paragraphs of the introduction felt like being torn apart. and to read markson in that horrible officious voice measuring out the segments of the book for critical butchery… a knife in my heart.
    ticking conscience
    this typo riddled copy. beautifully correspondent to how a copy of the book ought to appear. the tragicomic cover. a spectral tumbler of scotch held above a blood-red moonscape.

cerements - pl of cerement, waxed cloth used for wrapping a corpse

tell me what you think of yourself

the sense of failure that ticks within every act of completion.

success is not a feeling that can be felt. only failure is a feeling.

“Debating Mr. Belloc is like arguing with a hailstorm”

Here I like to quote Valéry, who said a person is a poet if his imagination is stimulated by the difficulties inherent in his art and not if his imagination is dulled by them.

Chesterton, who said, “The artistic temperament is a disease that affects amateurs.”
